Is this for real? Can you do something like:
set thePerson to "John Delacour"
set aCard to person thePerson

What happens if thePerson doesn't exist in the Address Book? Is it
fast to look up that person? I currently have:
repeat with aCard in (every person where last name is z_last_name and
first name is z_first_name)

Thanks,

Darwin
